You found a great quote, Lady Loves Lurking. I think it says everything. I believe saving Casey from being put to death is what keeps George and Cindy going.

Looks like I am going to be the first to defend George and Cindy.

I think they see Casey the same way I would view my dog if it were whining to get out of the cage at the pound wanting to go home after it had bitten a neighbor child and received a death sentence. Yes, it would be my fault for not training the dog better. But, THAT wouldn't prevent me from feeling bad for the dog that was begging to go home and that wa
s going to die.
No, I would not do anything to prevent the death sentence.

But that wouldn't make the dog's cries for me coming from the kennel cage less painful. And I am talking about a dog. Casey is George's and Cindy's child.

While I think Casey deserves to die, I can understand how the whole situation is a nightmare beyond imagining and the pain unbearable.

Okay, but, if the dog had bitten you yourself repeatedly most people would have trained the dog not to bite before allowing it near children. Just sayin'.

DO
VISIT YOUR CHILD IN JAIL, no matter who can see or hear you. Tell them you love them. Tell them you always will. Tell them to pray for guidance. Tell them to tell the truth.
GOOGLE The Unibomber's Family story.

DON'T direct anger and blame at those drug into this mess by the actions of you daughter-- the police, the friends, the innocent bystanders, the public.
DON'T try to get others blamed for what your child did.

I don't see G & C as victims. I suppose they are to a degree but you reap what you sow. Their behavior throughout all of this is (to me) representative of how they treated KC in the past which probably got them where they are today.

One of my biggest questions is- What changed them from the beginning of the investigation to now? In the beginning, they seemed to be very open and honest with the police. Now they are soooo different, denying even things they said, changing stories, making ridiculous excuses that are just unbelievable etc. What happened? They both look very hardened-especially Cindy. They just have a mad look on their face which didn't seem to be there before.

Did they realize that if KC is found not guilty she'd be back living with them? I can't think of any other reason-I'm totally confused by the change in them.

The way they are coming across causes many people to not like them. It's very hard for me to feel sympathy for them. I might've but then they gave those depo's. After that, I have none for them. What a disaster that turned out to be.

I agree with most of the posters. If GA and CA had come across as grieving grandparents, supported their daughter, but wanted the truth about Caylee, I would have been sympathetic, but they have been covering and argumentative instead of facing the truth. They have left Caylee with no one in the family supporting her. Their focus is KC and Caylee has been lost in all of this.

Cindy, despite being a seemingly obnoxious person to many of us, apparently worked like a dog to feed and clothe that entire household. She cared about how clean her house was and kept everyone and everything "tidy". She was apparently trying to hold onto George and salvage their marriage. She has been a pretty crappy Mother to Casey and maybe had hopes of doing a better job with Caylee. I have noticed a lack of outside friendships...so her sham fairy-tale family is ALL this woman has been so invested in for decades. By suddenly insisting that KC figure things out for herself Cindy was trying out some last ditch tough love, too little too late, and the results were .......murder! How could she have possibly forecast that? And the fact that Cindy has done everything wrong since all this happened is no surprise. Cindy needs as much help as KC...but few people want to help people who won't take responsibility for their actions. Should the day ever come when they do...I am betting they would get all the understanding that they now lack.

The Anthonys know whats probably comming. They are flawed humans, like the rest of us. I hate how they have been picked apart, laughed at, made fun of in every single way possible...just on this board alone! I have never seen so much hatred. And theres a difference between a demand for justice and people spewing hatred.

Why would they care what we thought of them? I believe they will ride the road to hell to keep Casey from death. To them, that is not denying Caylee justice.

I hate the lies. That is what made this case so baffelling! It's sad that they are reaping so much sorrow mainly because of lies.

I get so dang angry what Casey has done, & how George & Cindy have handled everything. But...

I still have sympathy, & concern for them. I pray they will someday have peace & purpose. They were good grandparents, they loved Caylee, and they had no idea there own daughter would kill her.

And isn't looking for a defense for C&G in a way, treating them the way they treated KC? Always looking to cover for her, pretending what terrible thing she has done lately really isnt' that bad... The victim here is Caylee, period.

People deserve to reap what they have sown. We can love them for the children of God they are, but we do not have to like them, or defend all the terrible things they have done, or are about to do.

I can't even begin to comprehend the pain and heartache of these two people. They still have my deepest sincerest sympathy.

Have they made mistakes, sure...but who here hasn't?

Making a mistake isn't lying for someone that is ultimately responsible for the welfare of your grandchild. Accident or deliberate, the truth should come out. A mistake isn't telling people a picture of a child could be your granddaughter and she isn't. A mistake isn't flying all over the country (California) looking for your granddaugther, but not searching the neighborhood. A mistake isn't finding out your daughter lied to LE in the search for your granddaughter, and instead of trying to find out the truth, defending the daughter. A mistake is a misunderstanding...there have been no misunderstandings. They have chosen their daughter over their granddaughter.
